**Official 2010 NY knicks pre-season thread** 10/6 vs T-wolves (PARIS) 2PM MSG/NBA TV

I understand what you're saying with the short term contracts, but if none of them are long term, what do we do, if a superstar was to really come over?



i understand there would be a ton of guys flopping over to play, but ehh. you cant throw a bunch of guys and say, volia, unless of course you're the miami heat.

I'm not too worried about cap space.

virtually every player on this roster is trade-able now

That big look like he can run well for his size. I wonder how this will pan out

As a learned Knick fan, I will not get my hopes up for an international player or a big name FA.

My emotions have gone through enough. Please, no more photoshops, sigs, and erroneous & wild dream lineups

. I will stick to the here & now and focus on the players that have signed the dotted line.

Well the idea is usually to bring in role players to build around your star players. I'd only pay attention to the guys who can work well with Amar'e and those who are just amazing standouts. Everybody else getting traded or not being signed back. The way things are now a superstar would like the idea of the team still being flexible to get better players. We already got Gallo who might not be moving at all for a while and as long as he keeps getting better he could be a good enough draw along with the big men we acquire.

This don't mean nothing. We went through 2 years of Bron talking about how great it is to play in NY.

Seriously, cut it out with the 'Melo talk. No star wants to play here. Amar'e ain't no goddamn star either.

A lot of people will feel the same. I have feeling this trade will backfire like every trade the knicks have done.
